Topic Wiki

Thread summary:

Trump walks in a room.

1. Moshe123 shoots at him because he is pure evil, 2. ilherman+hachover jump in front of the bullets because Trump is our savior. 3. aygart tackles Moshe123 because Trump is better than HRC, 4. but Baruch can't stand Trump so he tells aygart he's crazy and Trump is a madman. 5. ExGingi would like to point out that who cares what he is, all that matters is the supreme court nominations. 6. Dan and others aren't really sure how this makes them feel plus they don't really want to drink poison. 7. Spoiler alert: Moshe123's gun was empty, it was just a blank.

And Freddie is in the back of the room just cooking his cholent. Until he announces that there are TWO menu choices, Pareve Cholent or Vegetable Lasagna. While etech0 figured out that they are both poisoned.


Repeat x100.

And then Hilary walks into the room with the most confidence a candidate has had in recent history. She is so confident that she eats both the Pareve Cholent and Vegetable Lasagna. Everyone is the room is aghast, they don't know how this happened, could it be Comey is behind this poisoning or was it that her Obamacare premiums were to high to get her the help she needed.

Everyone stared as she choked and was cast into oblivion on November, 8, 2016 the last day she was heard from in the public eye.

Moshe123, ilherman, hachover, Baruch, ExGingi, Dan, Freddie, etech0, and the rest of America are in total shock and hope that so long as Trump doesn't eat any Pareve Cholent and Vegetable Lasagna and stays true to his supreme court nominees this may be the greatest thing to happen since the CSR and GC's.

But remember this may be the beginning of the end...

P.S. Thanks to cognitive dissonance aygart, Michael Moore, and Scott Adams knew the whole time that Trump could win, unfortunately for JTZ he may be off DDF for the next 4 years due to his mandatory 3 times daily consumption of CROW!

Nov 8 : Time to edit the wiki. Biggest upset in American History according to Michael Isikoff.

As things turns out, the most prescient view on this election was that of Michael Moore! Though Scott Adams is also claiming a high view level of prescience.

That really scared me for the past eight years when we had a president who did not say a word about KKK violence which happened under his watch. The only bigotry he cared about was if it was about skin color. Now we have a president who spoke out against violence. What an improvement!
Let me get this straight. You are troubled about BO not speaking out about violence against a group that wants to exterminate blacks but you are OK with Trump defending a group that wants to exterminate Jews?

Puleez OMG.. No kkk is emboldened when a BLACK president doesn't call them out.
Some things are just so simple, they shouldn't need to be spelled out.

I thought that was such an obvious exaggeration. Which was the last president to specifically call out KKK violence? Was it Bush? Clinton? Reagan? Carter? Ford? Nixon?

The idea that he needs to drop everything and call out specifically one out of two terrorist groups is ridiculous.

1. Who was the last president to tweet the craziest things despite everyone advising against it? If anything bothers him you know exactly how he feels.

2. He DID drop everything and condemned the violence ...but not​ neo Nazism or KKK.

Is it that you see some sort of pattern to what he does and doesn't tweet which this should fit into differently? I see no rationality to his tweeting practices at all.

Are you conceding that you are holding him to a different standard?

1. The Media always held Republicans to a different standard when it came to racism. Think Harry Reid when he made fun of Obama's African American dialect Al Sharpton "forgave him" which would have been the end of any Republicans political career.

2. He created this different standard. From the beginning of his campaign when he didn't just come out full force against David Duke etc. He could've nipped it in the bud. Instead he keeps on killing every opportunity to put it to rest.

That the media is busy with it we know is their bias. There are others who have now joined their bias. My opinion is that BOTH Obama and Trump should have come out more strongly against the KKK, but let's be honest, the vast majority of what we are seeing now has ZERO to do with the KKK and EVERYTHING to do with dislike of Trump and confirmation bias.

This is confusing. Are you saying BO did not condemn the KKK all the time or are you talking about violence against a group that wants to exterminate the blacks he did not speak out against?

Dunno.
 But I don't believe that Trump hates Jews,start with his kids.

Yes they hate him, but you didn't answer this

Did he ever condemn the KKK? Did he say anything when they stabbed counter proteters?

That has been addressed many times upthread. He clearly denounced Duke numerous times until one time when they asked for the 478th time (I made that number up) they made a whole faux outrage about it. The faux outrage will keep happening no matter what he says.
